Select language to translate this lyric
Come, people, and listen to Liberty's song
It's time we were righting a very old wrong
While the fiddlers and flunkies of Parliament play
The rights of the people are fading away
Climbing, climbing, time we were climbing
Climbing Constitution Hill
They'll treat us like fools until we write the rules
And we're climbing Constitution Hill
Come all you young people and listen to me
It's time to stand up and make history
Put down your distractions the clamor it mounts
It's time to hold all the old men to account
Climbing, climbing, time we were climbing
Climbing Constitution Hill
Let's not ask for favors, let's be our own saviors
And climb up Constitution Hill
Come Parliamentarians, please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall
For there'll be no trust or rule by consent
'Til the people are sovereign in Parliament
Climbing, climbing, time we were climbing
Climbing Constitution Hill
If the Crown just won't budge, then we'll give it a nudge
And we're climbing Constitution Hill
Climbing, climbing, time we were climbing
Climbing Constitution Hill
They'll treat you like fools until you write the rules
And you climb up Constitution Hill
